A flotilla of big freight canoes puts out from shore and makes for the ship. The paddlers, their bodies glistening with sweat in the West African heat, soon bring the canoes alongside. Then comes a sight startling to a casual observer. He sees a crane on the deck of the ship hoist a fully as- sembled car, and lower it over the side onto the canoes, which have been lined up gunwale to gunwale. The combined buoyancy is enough to float the car. Soon the canoes, with the car resting across their midsections and| with paddlers in bow and stern, | are making slow but steady pro- | gress back toward shore. Our friend the casual ob- server, leaning dly against the; ship's rail, has just witnessed| the delivery of a Canadian. Pon- tiac, from General Motors in! Oshawa. | If the same observer were} able to follow the progress of| all GM of Canada cars from Oshawa to destination during a) single model year, his mind! would reel at the scope and variety of the problems dealt] with by the Export Department of General Motorls of Canada. In the case of that Pontiac! sent to Ghana, the Export peo-; ple had to. bear in mind that) there are no facilities in that} part of the world for assembling) motor vehicles, so that it had to be shipped. assembled rather than in '"'knocked-down"' form, which is the most economical) way to ship a car or truck. Complete cars on wheels, dur- ing the 1961 model year, were) sent to such far-flung points as/ Samoa and the Philippines. Then there was Kuwait, the) oil-rich sheikdom on the Per/| sian Gulf. There, the popularity) of the Pontiac -- more of which| are exported than any other GM| of Canada car -- was demon-; strated. Kuwait took Pontiac| Parisiennes at the rate of 60 or| 80 a month -- though orders} dropped when it looked as/ though Kuwait and Iraq were heading for a fight More recently, an assembled) Chevrolet convertible from Osh-| awa was sent to British Guiana, | specifically to transport Prince} Philip during his tour of Brit-| ain's South American colony. | In British Guiana, as in other Commonwealth eountries, | ee tariffs apply--which eep prices down and thus help/| to sell Canadian cars Thevtariff| factor accounts for the fact that the bulk of exports by GM ORGANIZED LABOR Can Achieve A BETTER LIVING STANDARD FOR ALL Only the positive can be strong... Only the strong can be free. Basic to Oshawa's productivity and strength is the skill of our workers. We proudly salute them for their vital contribution to Oshawo's progress and their steadfast devotion to Canada's free way of life. Oshawa Distrid Labor Council (CHARTERED BY C.L.C.)
